Bill Gates has made his scholarship fund off limits to white teenagers. The Gates Millennium Scholarship fund is financed by a $1 Billion endowment Bill Gates made in 1999. The fund explicitly denies eligibility to white students.
Students are eligible to be considered for a GMS scholarship if they: Are African American, American Indian/Alaska Native, Asian and Pacific Islander American, or Hispanic American;"

True. But I’m sure it was a lot of whitey buying his software that put him in the position to give to non whites.

There could be some repercussions if he gives scholarship recipients preferential hiring opportunities. What is his justification?

To be fair, there are scholarships only open to whites, to Norwegian descendants, to women, to rural students, etc.
I know, I had some of them.
To: svcw
No he can’t. If he specified whites only all hell would break loose, or even if he specified all races except for black, all hell would break loose. This is the new racism and we are just taking it, and it doesn’t matter that Gates is white, it is still racism.
I agree with you in theory that he should be able to give the money to whom he wants and if that was actually the case, that he could give it to whites only etc, then so be it.

Justification? He doesn't need one.
But if you read the requirements to even apply, he tells you. Hiring is not the same thing as scholarships.

Scholarships should not be based on race but on a totality of circumstances.

54% of Hispanics describe themselves as white.
